The Dawn Chorus have received an unprecedented second 9/10 review for their album from John Earls at Teletext / Planet sound:

"The Dawn Chorus/The Big Adventure

Former PS demo faves come good on a country-rock record that's wonderful because it evokes their native Hants as much as wide-open Americana.

Everything from Goldrush and Hobotalk to Bright Eyes and Wilco flits among the Evans brothers' movingly optimistic vocals, unafraid to be as big and bold as they can make them.

It's about full lives and finding the intimate music arrangements to match. Utterly gorgeous. 9/10"
